Also isn’t UW only a middleman? If I’m going to donate, I’ll do it myself.

Who painted the painting, though?

I have to agree with you. I have yet to watch the documentary, and in fact, am unaware if her mental illness has ever been diagnosed in public, but I am an attorney, as is my husband who has dealt with this type of law before (we’re in CA as well) It’s really hard to get a conservatorship over someone, especially a…

You hit the nail on the head. This is what a support system looks like when people have severe mental illness. It just WAY more complicated because most of the time people don’t have massive fortunes.

Got it! Thank you for taking the time to explain that which surely must have been obvious to most thinking people. ♡

No zoos here, but across the road from me are cows, horses and pigs. Maybe my post sounded more depressed than I meant it to? I’m actually doing pretty well. For nature I just go outside. We’re in the woods, and there’s lots of pretty scenery, covered with a foot of snow.

Puppy Connie, the most badly behaved doggie in Panama. Yesterday, our fabulous dog trainer took Connie to his house to work with her there, and he kept her for ten whole hours.

I have an important pupdate: Thursday was Darwin’s first birthday!
